On the 16th of October, Xiaomi scheduled a launch event in New Delhi, India where it announced the Redmi Note 8 lineup in the country. In addition, it has also unveiled the Redmi Air Purifier 2c which is an affordable version of the previously launched Mi Air Purifier 2S. It is clear that Xiaomi is trying to entice consumers with a cheaper Air Purifier ahead of the Diwali festival which often leads to severe pollution levels due to burning of firecrackers.
To make the new air purifier more economical, Xiaomi has removed the circular digital display which was present on the last variant. Instead, it has a tri-colour LED indicator on the front which changes colour based upon the quality of the air.
The Mi Air Purified 2C measures 240 x 240 x 520 mm and it weighs 4.2 kilograms. The device requires 33w of power while the fan is in active mode, which drops down drastically when in hibernation or standby mode.
The Mi Air Purifier 2C resembles a rectangular tower and is primarily made out of white plastic with grey top and bottom. The top of the device has a high-speed fan that sucks air from the bottom which is forced via a filter that results in the purification of the air. Noteworthy, it also has a dual-layer filter mode which is said to remove micron-sized particles, harmful bacteria and eliminate odours.

The Mi Air Purifier 2C packs a true HEPA Filter and is claimed to filter 99.7 percent indoor pollution, which is impressive. It is capable of 360-degree suction and it offers clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 350 cubic meters per hour. Accordingly, an area of 452 sqft can be purified in just 10 mins of use.
The Mi Air Purifier 2C is priced at 6,499 which is Rs 2500 cheaper than the Air Purifier 2s. It will be available for purchase from mi.com later today at 4 pm and will also be sold via Amazon.in, Flipkart.com and Mi Home Stores starting October 18th.
